I've heard nothing but good things about Lemon Press and was so excited to try it when visiting the island. We had a great experience dining here. The staff were welcoming and kind. Our server even gave us a complementary bottle of their house made pucker up juice. She shared why she loved it and poured us each a glass. This was such a nice touch. The juice was delicious and you could taste the fresh beet juice and ginger. The pistachio matcha I had was perfectly made. Not too dark in color and flavored nicely. I loved the soup of the day with sourdough bread made by a local Nantucket baker. The Italian wedding soup was delicious and rustic in flavor. The overall presentation leaves a strong impression. Everything was so well put together. read more

Decent and serviceable food, but very much "the" hipster - tourist breakfast joint. During the season, that is, the tourist season the place is standing room only with hipsters from NYC and Miami and a large crowd outside. Prices are Nantucket. Worth the wait? Meh, you need to make that call. I still miss Arno's. read more

We popped into the Lemon Press while on Nantucket, and it's such a cute, vibey spot! Coffee was very good. Matcha was a little grainy but otherwise tasted good! Fun spot to check out while in town! read more

Came a few times primarily for breakfast. We like their avocado toast, and scallop/lettuce wrap. Their bagels are way better than you'd get at most places in the Bay Area, but not as good as places you'd find in the East coast. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, which is comfortable, yet really nice for a casual breakfast. Service is good. Servers were nice and helpful, even as business started to pick up closer to noon. There are also a few grab and go items if you're in a hurry. There's definitely a good flow of business during breakfast, but it seemed that business really picks up at lunch, at least on days when we were there. I'd come back again and check out more of their lunch items next time. read more

Overall a bit pricey for what it is! The food was tasty, but would expect a bit more for what we paid. I got the gyro with chicken, was very fresh and the pita was delicious. Chicken was a bit bland but the sauce good. Also tied a cortado! A bit too much milk for my liking, more like a cappuccino! read more

Lemon Press is a lively place to have lunch. The service is quick and friendly. I had the gyro which was stuffed with gyro style lamb along with a zesty sauce. The cafe has an upscale feel as you would expect but the prices were reasonable for the island. It is located on a Main Street so access is very easy. read more

Strolled into Lemon Press on Main Street and hit the perfect rhythm for a relaxed yet elevated breakfast session. We settled at the bar quick, seamless seating (no fuss) and the vibe was effortlessly cool and welcoming. They were only 15 minutes from closing and we didn't realize but they were super quick to ask us what to order and also give us recommendations so we could get food on time before they closed then they didn't rush us at all. Started with a strawberry smoothie and their "Vibrancy" cold-pressed juice -- both vibrant in flavor tasted great and refreshing after travel. We shared the hummus plate (generous quantity, fresh pita, clean flavors) which paired really well with our drinks. Everything arrived looking crisp, colorful, and just as good taste-wise as it looked. The space itself is full of character: the café is bright, brick-lined, and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of natural light and a modern yet cozy aesthetic. Being in the heart of downtown makes it the ideal spot for a destination breakfast or a casual cafe. Easy to pair with a morning walk, errands, or just a laid back place to hang and catch up with family/ friends, date etc. What really stood out: the consistency. From drink quality to food presentation to the seating experience, it all delivered. If I had to nitpick, I might say the bar seating can feel a little communal (not as private) but for the kind of visit we had it was perfectly suited. If you're headed to Nantucket and want a spot that's a notch above your average café with refreshing beverages, thoughtful plates, solid location Lemon Press is definitely on the list of go to spots to check out read more

Was excited to try Lemon Press after seeing a lot of hype on social media. I tried the brown cinnamon latte, while others in my group got the detox latte, and matchas. My latte was ok, it wasn't as sweet as I usually like, but I tried a sip of the detox latte which was really good and sweet! It has charcoal in it which makes it look completely black, but it was good. The matcha wasn't bad, but I'm typically not a matcha person. The inside is really well decorated, and it's definitely a cute spot for coffee! read more

Lemon Press is such a great spot for dinner on Nantucket. The space is bright and cozy, and the menu is full of fresh, creative dishes that feel both healthy and indulgent at the same time. Their cocktails and wine list are just as fun and thoughtfully put together, which makes it an awesome place to relax, share a few plates, and linger over drinks with friends read more

Ambiance 4/5 Service 5/5 Food 5/5 Breakfast Sandwich - very good and would order again. Confit Duck Hash - I would highly NOT recommend. Unseasoned with an unimpressive presentation. I couldn't finish because it was so bland. Clean Green Juice - was curious, but wasn't impressed. Healthy and as expected. I just needed to sneak in veggies this day. The Bees Knees - definitely the yummiest coffee I had all year. read more

We stopped in for coffee which was very good and then the next day for breakfast which was excellent. Service was very good both times and the upstairs dining room is quaint and eclectic. There's a certain charm here that is both complimentary to the charm of Nantucket but unique to this establishment. This is a must stop breakfast spot for certain! Can't wait to return! read more

Had a delightful breakfast at the Lemon Press during our stay on Nantucket. We ordered a variety of meals that were all delicious. My husband did not enjoy the quinoa crunch on his avocado toast but other than that everything was delicious! The waiter was very nice and his service was great. It is a quick moving restaurant and we enjoyed our meal alot. read more

Went to Lemon Press first thing in the morning--literally first in line when they opened at 8am. Ordered two coffees and a croissant. The croissant? Very good. The coffee? Absolutely terrible. Took 20 minutes to get, and they made both drinks wrong. Not even close to worth the wait. Do yourself a favor: skip Lemon Press and head right next door to the Nantucket Pharmacy. Better coffee, no nonsense. read more

We've had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this charming downtown Nantucket restaurant and although we love many things about the place, including the fact that it brings vastly underrepresented Persian flavors to this gringo island, the food is honestly just so-so by our standards. Cold pressed juices and cocktails are of excellent quality. The mixologist, Jonathan, is IMHO a genius and designed all of the beautifully made cocktails on the menu. He makes the house bloody Mary mix from scratch and it's potent + delicious! Wow! The decor -- heavy on dried and fresh flora -- is also absolutely lovely, as are the kind wait staff. As a few other Yelpers have noted, however, the food is generally just fine, not quite as good as one might expect for the pricing if one is a New Yorker: - Acai bowls at breakfast ($15.60): standard issue. You get three toppings of your choice and our strawberries, blueberries and granola were well received by the primary consumers. - Gyro with shaved lamb at lunch ($18.72): standard issue. This is the same processed meat you find at any street food stall in NYC, but it does come with some lovely hummus and veggies on a possibly house made pita. - Shrimp lettuce wraps at lunch (with poke sauce, pickled onion, bibb lettuce, radish, fried shallots; $18.72) were overcooked and cloyingly sweet, with sauces overwhelming whatever intrinsic flavors the shrimp may once have had. They were quite oily, as well. - Seared Scallops at dinner (red lentil, schug drizzle, sea beans; $29.64) did not come with any discernable sea beans, probably the ingredient I was most excited about having on the plate. I love and forage sea beans. Scallops were expertly prepared, seared brown on the outside, not overcooked on the inside. However, the red lentils (which seemed to me an odd addition to the plate and mainly present as an anchor for the scallops or additional roughage) were prepared in a very bland manner. I passionately love this ingredient when I use it as masoor dal, or when I incorporate it into Armenian dried apricot and red lentil stew. This was a preparation made without love. If we were just talking about schug and scallops, I'd be happy. - Joojey Kabab (Marinated chicken skewers, house pita, cucumber laban, onion soubise; $22.36) was a modest portion of chicken that had perhaps been marinated in something akin to tabasco sauce (I detected vinegar and chili spice) and not the traditional yogurt and saffron. It was a wee bit tough. The cucumber laban was lovely, the soubise less sweet, creamy and flavorful than the preparations we usually make at home or have at restaurants in NYC. (I have to assume that the onions were not properly caramelized and that thickening agents were used that are not in the traditional preparation.) - The chicken in the oven roasted chicken dish (za'atar and lemon on airline chicken breast, confit potatoes, charred broccolini, natural au jus; $46.80) was clearly of high quality: Textures and flavors indicated it was not factory farmed. Unfortunately, it was prepared in a very bland way, which did not do the animal justice. We do really enjoy airline chicken on the bone and think it retains its jus better than many other cuts, but one piece of chicken on the plate was quite pink and undercooked, a downside that is more likely with this cut. We did not send it back, knowing that we'd just reheat leftovers to the correct temperature the next day. (We're not the type to get freaked out by this kind of thing given that we enjoy torisashi in Japan.) Za'atar seasonings were only skin deep and everything on this plate was undersalted. - I didn't personally try The Burger (beef and lamb burger, harissa yogurt, pickled shallots, za'atar fries; ; $27.04), but it appeared to be juicy and the primary consumer ate it all. I have to assume it was good and/or he was hungry! The fries I poached from his plate were excellent. I'd go back for the inventive cocktails; the overpriced, but healthy, cucumber / ginger pressed juice drinks; and possibly the duck mezze for four. (I was mad at my family for refusing to go all in with me on the latter!) But for excellent Persian food, we are lucky to have our NYC standards and best of all, homemade dinners in a good friend's kitchen. read more

My friends & I dined here as a large party last weekend as part of a bachelorette brunch. Our server, Britney, was absolutely amazing. She had an upbeat, positive personality & made great recommendations for our tables. When she found out we were a wedding party, she had the restaurant's music switch over to a wedding playlist, which was so sweet of her. Overall, the food was very fresh, but I personally found the menu to be pretty limited if you're looking for a big, sit down breakfast. read more

Delicious food! Super busy Saturday, but they definitely kept everything upbeat! I had a bagel & lox and my husband had a wonderful traditional breakfast cooked to perfection. Thank you read more

The Lemon Press is a cute juice bar and a nice spot for a late lunch.

My husband had the burrito and loved it! read more

I recommend this spot for dine-in breakfast/lunch, especially for anyone with food allergies. The whole menu is labeled with modification options such as GFO or VO (gluten free/vegan optional). I learned from our server that they'll remove potentially cross-contaminated ingredients when opting for GFO, so depending on your sensitivity you can customize as needed. Many of their hot drinks either come with espresso or a shot can be added. The Golden Dust was my family's highlight-- my mom drank 3 during our 4-day stay. The Bees Knees is also delicious. I got that one iced/to-go at the front counter and the size was massive. Their Avocado Toast is great; the poached egg topper is a must. I ordered mine on gluten free bread, and the bread itself is thin-sliced/nothing to write home about, but the dish checked all boxes and beyond. I hate quinoa generally, but this toast was finely dusted with quinoa crunch and it made every bite better. The veggie blend comes sprinkled on top of everything instead of as a bed underneath. I especially enjoyed the microgreens, which are pretty common in Nantucket dishes. The Perfect Persian Parfait is delicious. The overall portion size looks small, but it's pretty filling as the cherry yogurt is creamy somehow. The berries were bursting! I picked up a gluten free zucchini/chocolate chip muffin to-go at the counter, and it must've been 500+ calories as the inside was completely chip filled. I recommend this only for dessert-- I ate every last crumb but could barely move after. This restaurant is Persian themed, and most of the staff comes from Bulgaria for the season with housing provided by the owner. Everyone's English is great and the service is A+. Walking in, seating looks limited, but they have a whole upstairs area including a retail section and restrooms. read more

Had a lovely meal to go at Lemon Press. Ordered the Avocado Toast which had pickled cauliflower, radish, zataar vin, micro greens on sourdough toast. I picked cucumbers for my side.

Liked it but didn't love it. There was a lot of hype about this place and although it is adorable inside I didn't find it to be anything particulalry special. I ordered an acai bowl with extra ingredients and it was brought out late and was missing the ingredients that I had requested. The Acai, which every other time I have had it is served cold, was room temperature. Perhaps a good place to meet a friend for a coffee but I think there are better places for food. read more

Healthy option yes but a wish I didnt' have to sacrifice flavor for it. I had the Mediterranean Salad and it was very bland. Very disappointing to pay $20 for a salad (and this was with no add-on's) and be disappointed. The online ordering was easy and the food was ready when notified in the exact time they said it would be so that is a plus. read more

Awful food. Ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage. The eggs were extremely overcooked. "Croissant brioche bun" was reminiscent of a microwaved Starbucks sandwich. The sausage tasted like it was from McDonalads. The sad fruit cup on the side was soggy. I would recommend only getting beverages from here as the food was inedible. read more

We had such a great experience! The food was delicious--everything tasted fresh and was cooked just right. I had the avocado toast with eggs, and my friend got the breakfast burrito--both were flavorful and really hit the spot. The espresso drinks were phenomenal, which isn't always the case at breakfast spots! But what really made it stand out was our server, Brittany. She was absolutely amazing--super friendly, attentive, and seriously knew the menu inside and out. She gave thoughtful recommendations, checked in at just the right times, and had a really warm, welcoming energy that made us feel right at home. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. Between the great food and even better service, I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Love a healthy food spot! My sister and I stopped by Lemon Press twice during our recent visit to Nantucket. Overall I'd give the experience 3.5 stars but the amazing smoothie I had bumps it up to 4. The first time around we had lunch on the lower level. I was craving something light and nutritious so I went with Kami's Bowl. The bowl included farro, mashed avocado, greens, pickled cauli, cucumber (MIA in real life), tomato, feta (nixed this to make it vegan), and pita wedges ($19.76). The bowl is under the "warm bowls" section of the menu, but it was more of a salad, being green heavy and not actually warm. It was decent, my hopes were just very high. I'd definitely give Lemon Press another shot if I'm back in Nantucket and want something casual + savory (and healthy). For breakfast the next day we did have to wait around 20 minutes for a table, and were seated upstairs. I wanted a smoothie so I chose the TB12, which was one of the best smoothies I've had out! It was comprised of banana, blueberries, walnuts, chia seeds, flax, plant-based protein, and almond milk ($14.56). So well-balanced and the perfect texture! They don't have London Fogs on the menu, but I asked our server if they could whip one up, and the answer was yes! The cozy beverage ended up being super tasty as well. Our second visit definitely made up for our first. The ambiance is okay, I prefer downstairs around the bar area, and service is decent. No complaints in that department! I'd happily come back to enjoy another smoothie and try more menu items. read more

Staff is rude. Was told a 20 min wait time for breakfast sandwiches & are now going on an hour.

On our day trip to Nantucket, Lemon Press was our first stop off the ferry and it did not disappoint. I ordered an iced Grey Lady which was a delicious combination of lavender and vanilla along with a chocolate croissant. The croissant was delicious and flaky with melted chocolate inside. All in all we were very pleased with our Lemon Press experience! read more

Waited 45 minutes for a "TB-12" smoothie and a cold breakfast sandwich . Tasted disgusting and was overpriced. Won't be back

I got a delicious chocolate hazelnut croissant and an okay tasting latte here. They're just using generic syrups, but I honestly expected them to make their syrups in-house. They're incredibly busy even at 9AM on a Sunday. I guess this is where everyone goes to get their acai bowls and coffees, but it's honestly just okay. It's just where everyone goes because there's such limited options on the island. read more
